Best practices for International eSourcing of Software Products and Services

2008

This paper analyzes how the information and communications technology-supported international eSourcing of software products and services (IeS) can be effectively executed. The extant literature falls short of providing a systematic and detailed enough set of best practices to guide IeS. This paper presents best practices for IeS to facilitate further research, and to help managers and other stakeholders to understand, execute, and proactively improve and manage international eSourcing. The practices emphasize the need to establish and enact rigorous, mature, and quantitatively managed eSourcing life- cycles in order to transcend temporal, geographical, social, technical, and other boundari…

Sfide postmoderne a una paideia umanistica

2016

In questo saggio sono esposte le tesi caratterizzanti del pensiero debole, inteso come Weltanschauung spontanea diffusa tra le nuove generazioni e interpretato come sfida radicale all’idea centrale di una paideia di tradizione umanistica. Sono poi presi in esame alcuni rilievi critici emersi dal cosiddetto “realismo critico”, relativi al misconoscimento della realtà e delle differenze. L’autore le discute e le approfondisce nella prospettiva di una ontologia della persona, essenzialmente definita dalle categorie di avvenimento formativo e di riconoscimento, della realtà, dei volti, delle differenze. In this essay are exposed the main thesis of the weak thought, meant as spontaneous Weltansc…

From beverage to companion food: Experts' principles for pairing wines and beers with food

2016

Projet "Associations entre bières et mets : de la perception au jugement des consommateurs en situation réelle de consommation".; Pairing beverages and dishes is part of culinary tradition. The objective is to identify the principles used by experts for pairing. Ten sommeliers and ten beer experts were presented with the description of a drink, either beer or wine. They were asked to suggest dishes to match the drink and explaining their choices. They performed the task with two beers and two wines. Both perceptual and conceptual principles are reported, the former being the most often used. Overall, 10 perceptual principles were identified. They intend to either reinforce the quality of th…

Efficiency of temporal sensor data compression methods to reduce LoRa-based sensor node energy consumption

2022

Purpose Minimizing the energy consumption in a wireless sensor node is important for lengthening the lifetime of a battery. Radio transmission is the most energy-consuming task in a wireless sensor node, and by compressing the sensor data in the online mode, it is possible to reduce the number of transmission periods. This study aims to demonstrate that temporal compression methods present an effective method for lengthening the lifetime of a battery-powered wireless sensor node. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the energy consumption of LoRa-based sensor node was evaluated and measured. The experiments were conducted with different LoRaWAN data rate parameters, with and without …

Participatory Budget as an Instrument of Social Participation in the Sports Sector

2021

From the perspective of local government, social participation means the participation of citizens in making decisions about the performance of public tasks. Allocation of participatory budget funds is executed by indicating the types of tasks that should be financed under this budget. Projects submitted within this budget are treated as indicators of the needs and expectations of the residents. Undertaking and organising activities popularising widely understood physical fitness and sports activities is an important sphere of life. Therefore, the paper refers to whether the participatory budget is used as an instrument of social participation in the sphere of physical fitness and sports, a…

Transition-edge sensors for particle-induced X-ray emission spectrometry

2018

A transition-edge sensor array has been applied to particle-induced X-ray emission. We have characterized the detector for quantitative analysis and obtained minimum detection limit over two orders of magnitude better compared to a silicon drift detector. We have also studied chemical effects in analysis of Ti, TiO2 and TiN using proton and heavy ion beams. A chemical shift for TiO2 was observed in proton measurements, and relative multiple ionization X-ray satellite line intensities changed between metallic Ti and other compounds with heavy ions. Detection of low energy X-rays down to 0.5 keV was achieved by installing a polycapillary lens in front of the transition-edge sensor array in ex…

Budžetēšana Latvijas pašvaldībās – prakses analīze un pieeju izmantošanas modelēšana

2021

Maģistra darba “Budžetēšana Latvijas pašvaldībās – prakses analīze un pieeju izmantošanas modelēšana” mērķis ir veikt analīzi par budžeta veidošanas pieeju izmantošanu Latvijas pašvaldībās un īstenot citu budžeta veidošanas pieeju izmantošanas iespēju izpēti, noskaidrojot, kura pieeja nodrošina pēc iespējas pilnvērtīgāku iedzīvotāju interešu pārstāvniecību un veicina pašvaldības kopējo attīstību. Teorētisko ietvaru veido publiskā budžeta būtības un teorētiskās attīstības izklāsts, kā arī budžeta cikla, budžetēšanas principu un pieeju izvērsts apraksts. Teorētiskā daļa apkopo gan budžeta veidošanas procesu pētnieku-klasiķu tēzes, gan akadēmiskajā literatūrā pēdējos gados paustās pētnieciskās…

Approaching pedagogical language knowledge through student teachers: assessment of second language writing

2015

The article examines student teachers' pedagogical language knowledge. The analysis is based on data from an applied task in which Finnish student teachers (n = 221) of 16 school subjects assessed second language (SL) learners' writing skills. First, we briefly discuss subject teachers' role in language and literacy teaching in the multilingual and multicultural classroom. Our findings indicate that the student teachers use a range of criteria but focus mainly on word-level assessment when assessing writing samples, and that their assessment orientation varies from technical to analytical. Finally, we discuss the challenges of developing teacher education to promote pedagogical language kno…

Constructing a pedagogical practice across disciplines in pre-service teacher education

2019

In this paper we report a qualitative case study of a teaching intervention in which a pre-service subject teacher pair planned and conducted a course integrating Finnish language and ethics in a multilingual setting. Audio-recorded planning sessions and interviews including learning diaries were analysed using qualitative content analysis to identify the dynamics of collaborative cross-curricular pedagogical practice development and pedagogical language knowledge. The analysis revealed tensions in crossing the boundary between language and content knowledge. The study suggests that when creating cross-curricular practices, student teachers benefit from longer-term processes and theory-base…
